***

Thirty minutes later, I climb down the stairs to go to breakfast and find him in the hallway. We look at each other across the space, his eyes pinned on me in a way that I now understand.

I begin walking toward him and he does the same. A few patients flutter past me. A tech carrying a file throws me a nod. A few nurses greet him. We do what we’re required to do. We smile, nod back, all the while gravitating toward each other.

Or at least, it feels like gravitating. Because in this moment, there’s nowhere I’d rather be going than toward him.

We come to stop in front of each other, a little further down the dining room.

“Dr. Blackwood.” I nod at him.

“Willow.” He doesn’t nod back; he simply eyes me, my face, and my t-shirt.

My nipples wake up, as if he’s touching them, not with his eyes but with his hands.

Oh God, his hands.

He shoves them in his pockets as he stares, and I have to ask, “Why do you always have your hands in your pockets?”

“To control myself,” he rumbles, his voice thick and syrupy, like his eyes.

My heartbeat jacks up. “From what?”

He looks up, his gaze dark, as dark as last night. “From doing the things they shouldn’t be doing.”

I swallow, my heart in my throat, preventing me from saying anything to that. Although I want to say things. So many things.

“Interesting shirt,” he murmurs.

My nipples become engorged, painful. So fucking painful. And so do my breasts. There’s a tingling in them that only ever comes when I’m on the verge of losing myself to an orgasm. Too bad I’m standing in the middle of a hallway, with the morning bustle of a hospital.

“Thank you. It’s, uh, Harry Potter,” I say lamely, like I did the first time I chatted with him in the hallway. As if I want to talk about fiction and magic, instead of begging him to ease the pain in my tits.

He knows what I’m thinking. He has to. Something flashes on his face. Something carnal, and I have to cross my arms at my back so I don’t touch him. I wish I had pockets too.

“I know.”

I bite my lip. “I slept well. Last night, I mean. Like a baby.”

“I’m glad meds are doing their job. Besides, you are a baby.” His voice is filled with barely leashed frustration.

I’m not a baby. Or a little child. Or his responsibility. Though weirdly, it makes me all horny that he thinks so. What he doesn’t know is that this baby is really a snow princess who’s going to slay his dragons.

Deciding to let it go, I narrow my eyes at him. “Last night was risky.”

His nostrils flare. “That’s why it won’t happen again.”

Boom, boom, boom.

That’s my heart, matching the thunder last night.

“It shouldn’t,” I agree with him. “There’s a line between us.”

“There is.”

“I’m… kind of defective and you’re kind of not.”

He takes a step closer to me and it’s very hard for me to simply stand there and not take a step closer to him.
